THE FRANTIC FIVE - Love Beat, 10" EP (OSR-027V)

Does size really count anyway? In the charming world of vinyl records the lesser inches you get, the more attractive the result...

The Frantic "gang" is back with a lovely slab of wax in 10 inches. Love is all around on this release consisting of a bunch of cool garage stuff ranging from swinging to moody and from self-penned originals to obscure covers.

Side A's opening track titled "I Believe In You" is an excellent starter with moody feeling in vocals and lyrics, equally fuelled with cool Farfisa organ and fuzz guitar. "Ain't Gonna Cry No More" is the follow-up number, a fuzz guitar and organ driven track with fine vocals.

The Frantic Five have repeatedly proved in their 17-year career that they always kindly treat all the original stuff from the 60's paying this way tribute to the originators. "High Flying Bird" originally composed by a country-folk crossover singer-songwriter named Billy Ed Wheeler, gained recognition in the late 60's by an acid-folk version of Jefferson Airplane. In fact, the band's treatment on this track is a very successful cover version of the 60's teen punkers of Plague. Hats off in all three tracks of Side A to Dr. Organ's wonderful vocals!

"I Need Your Lovin'" on Side B is a cool and swinging tune based on a "frantic" tempo and cheesy Farfisa that brings to mind the early days of the band, back in the mid 90's! Same goes also to the title track "Love Beat" which is a lovely up-tempo garage beat song (with a hint of Merseybeat!) with great vocals that would perfectly fit into a party set. The record's last track is yet another exceptional cover version, "Bad Day Blues" of The Headstones with fuzzed-out guitar and killer Farfisa!

"Love Beat" is one of the most mature attempts of the band, an essential record for every garage maniac's collection!!!

FIVE STAR HOTEL - This Sound, CD (OSR-026)

Excellent Brit-pop from a Greek band that was originally formed in Birmingham back in 2001. Their fresh sound is perfectly blended of the sunny era of the mid to late 80's British indie legends, such as Smiths, New Order, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets among others. They have supported so far Six By Seven, Electrelane, Saint Etienne and Ladytron, leaving the best impressions with their performance. "Underground" is now getting a remarkable airplay in Athens and Thessaloniki radio shows. A very promising "blast off" from a very promising young band.

THEM TYRANTS - Same, CD (OSR-025)

One of the hottest garage albums of the year is coming from Uppsala of icy Sweden. Rumor has it that the band's master mind Magnus Jannson has travelled through tyme machine, back to the fab 60's. He has experienced garage punk since its birth from the Midwest, to Northeast and after a quick stop in New England State, he flied away to the Old Albion land where American Rhythm 'n' Blues was reborn by European musicians. Throughout his journey he gathered infinite sounds, senses and feelings, jumped back into his tyme capsule and returned to the year 2009.

Even though someone would expect to hear a kinda nostalgic, vintage 60's sound, he'd definitely be surprised by the unforeseen pure garage energy that describes exactly the way this kind of music must be performed!

We can say for sure that this release will be adored by both kinds of garage psych fans: Sixties era purists, as well as neo-garage lovers.

THE WEST SIDE WINDERS - Snaken Not Stirred, CD (OSR-024)

As in "Come And Get It!" the listener will likewise experience clearly all the American musical roots of the band, but this time with an even fresher mood. From "That's All Right Mama", which is the opening song of the album, Dan Peters' and his new gang's (Derek Brand playing the bass and Graig Marsh on the drums) intentions are pretty obvious: It's party time!!! Having adopted a technique that reminds us of the Stray Cats, without becoming their copycats, however, they offer us 10 outstanding songs, 8 of which are their own. "Keep It In The Family" is the country-billy masterpiece that will most definitely originally steal the hearts of the audience and radio producers, but soon one could discover a real goldmine... "Slick Black Cadillac Daddy", "Can't Get A Brake", "Your Love Is Evil"... It's hard to choose one over the other. Among them the instro "Little Doggies" where Peters gives guitar paces of skill, speed and feeling, without being yapping even for a single second!

The Breathless were formed in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2003 with the simple motive that has seen many a good band off to a fine start: a true love for Rock'n'Roll music and a willingness to play it as much as possible. With both fleet planted firmly in each camp, that is the original '50s Rockabilly music (Elvis, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, Johnny Burnette Trio, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry) as well as the late '70s & '80s Neo–Rockabilly Sound (Stray Cats, The Polecats, The Jets and Crazy Cavan), they have appeared on two ''On Stage Records'' compilation albums before getting the break with their debut album.

DUSTBOWL - Troublebound & Lonesome, CD (OSR-020)

After their highly acclaimed gigs in Athens and Thessaloniki, Dustbowl are presenting their debut album titled "Troublebound & Lonesome".

Dustbowl were formed in May 2006 intending to play a totally different genre than any other had ever been previously appeared in the Greek scene.

"Dust Bowl" were those whirlwinds and hurricanes of dust that infested the South-West States of America. A term that popped up in the tough 30's by the people that lived in those States and experienced the hard financial downturn. The "Big Black Train", a classic figure of the "dirty thirties", represents a trip, a good-bye, a continuous "come and go" from town to town, in search of a new homeland.

Mississippi...the Big Muddy, the fields and dust, the desert's atmosphere, the wanderer "Hobos", Woody Guthrie, the "haunted" traditional folk songs, "cult heroes" such as John Henry, the Gospel-like songs and lyrics of Reverend Gary Davis, the Hillbilly Country style of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, the Blues of Blind Willie McTell and Robert Johnson, the sound of Sun Records, rockabilly, Carl Perkins, Warren Smith, the modern Americana, the floating ghost of Jeffrey Lee Pierce, even the notorious Punk revolution, The Clash, Johnny Thunders, the films of Sam Peckinpah, Jack Kerouac's "On The Road", John Steinbeck's "Grapes Of Wrath", William Faulkner, Henry Miller, Jack London, Mark Twain, the furious rhythm of "big black train" rolling along the steel rails, its skirling whistle, that's the sound of Dustbowl... "The Freight Train Sound".

THE FRANTIC FIVE - On The Move, CD (OSR-019)

It is really worth-mentioning the fact that Greece's "Farfisa Kings" THE FRANTIC FIVE from Thessaloniki, keep going with a new album (their second studio one) after 13 years of their presence in the garagedom!!! They are, probably along with the fabulous Thanes from Scotland, one of the very few bands of the genre that keep the faith!

"On The Move" is the follow-up album after last year's live CD "A Go-Go At A Cave Near You" on INKA Records! Great compositions, well-structured instrumentation and awesome production in combination with a "lost-in-tyme" artwork make this effort by far their best! Their now-sound can be described as "retro neo-garage", based on the legacy of the best groups of the 60's punk Era and the most important revivalists of the 80's and 90's, since the majority of the groups of the genre today sound with an obvious distorted orientation. Thus, it is not only their Farfisa dominated sound that rules inhere but overall, an appreciation attitude towards the originators.

"The Brood" is the album's opening track, a great instrumental tune with references to the B-movies atmosphere of the mid-60's! Way-cool fuzz-punkers will follow such as "Why She'd Ever Leave", "I Live In Hell", "You Made Me Cry" and the self-titled "On The Move". A New England mood you can feel by listening to "How Can We Go On" whilst "Treat Me Kind" is truly a melodic number and "So Sad" reflects the band's folk punk influences. "Away From Your Lies" brings to mind the Wilson Pickett's classic "In The Midnight Hour" and "I Can't Wait Till Friday Comes" recalls The Pretty Things and The Tell-Tale Hearts! "I Got A Girl" is the swinging moment of the album which closes with an excellent cover of Kit & The Outlaws' "Don't Tread On Me".

Listen to THE FRANTIC FIVE's brand-new stunning album and you will surely wait to their next step!!!

From then on, they managed to draw the attention of a noteworthy following that gradually was getting increased.

Their sound is characterized by the velvet and dreamy vocals, which are perfectly bond with the rest of the instrumentation, proving a very talented group of advanced maturity!

The band's performance as an opening act to Six By Seven from United Kingdom last February was a unique opportunity to deliver their sound to a wider audience.

THE GRIMES - Shooting Season, mini CD (OSR-009)

The band was formed many years ago in Belgium by Jolt and Y while they were still students. At that time the group consisted of three members and borrowed bore names such as Slag Throbs and Probing The Mess. Their music had a pure punk-new wave sound. Later, back in Greece, Y joined a 4-membered Goth-Punk band called Injectile that managed to record and almost made it to release a 3-song EP. Injectile appeared live only a few times.

Around 1999, Jolt (guitar and vocals) and Y (bass and vocals) got together again and along with Dusty, at the time being the drummer and third member of the group, formed

THE GRIMES. Soon Snow, an old acquaintance, joined in as second guitar and vocals. Dusty decided to leave the band after four years due to his musical differences. He was replaced by a few other drummers, none of which suited the aim and attitude of THE GRIMES. Finally in 2004, Billy joined in and has been the drummer of the band ever since. Before joining THE GRIMES, Billy used to be a member of a Mohawk-hardcore outfit called Karkinoma.

THE GRIMES performed for the first time in November 2003 as a support band to the local rockabilly act Alexandros Perros And The Lone Stars. They have since supported major acts like The Stranglers and The Vibrators and have appeared in various music festivals.

Their new effort entitled "Shooting Season", an EP out on CD on ON STAGE RECORDS which got a lot of airplay on local radio stations.

THE GRIMES are a political band. Their lyrics deal with the social and personal problems that arise from contemporary urban life.

VIBRATORS / GRIMES - Politically Correct / Panoramic, 7" (OSR-008)

THE VIBRATORS, purveyors of the first UK punk movement back in the mid-70's, keep up astonishing the whole punk community with their unstoppable passion for 30 years now! Ian Knox and crew are still able to deliver punk-rock treasures much better than before using their unlimited talent! Their "Politically Correct" is as storming and powerful as their previous releases and teaches the new generation how the authentic UK punk should sound like!

THE GRIMES from Greece, formed in Belgium 15(!) years ago, match the UK pioneers in their very own way! The Greek representatives are by far the best act of the Greek punk community influenced from that 80's new wave-punk legacy of the UK! "Panoramic" with its politicized lyrics and fresh sound is an amazing sample of that entire Greek punk scene!

Make this limited Greek only vinyl yours, and let it be a part of punk-rock history into your room!

V/A - White Boppin' Tower Vol. 1, LP/CD (OSR-007)

The "WHITE BOPPIN' TOWER" is a unique and collectable compilation that was released on the day of the first and now-legendary festival "White Boppin' Tower – 1st Rock'n'Roll Weekender" which held in Thessaloniki, Greece in mid November 2004!

Including bands such as THE BLACK RAVEN from Germany, one of the finest and most acclaimed bands of the rock'n'roll scene internationally, featuring "Red Light", a tune amongst the favourite of the rockabilly DJs around Europe and written exclusively for this compilation after the tour in Japan. THE SPOOTNIKS and THE BARBULATORS from Russia,with a sound and appearance straight out of the 50's, the Greek rockabillies THE BULLETS' "Getting On" a hot tune with Mary on vocals (hats off to the Greek Wanda Jackson!) and THE ROCKETS an awesome combo from Athens offer "Rockin' Dream", one of the essential tracks of the compilation and best loved of the Greek audience as well as the surfing OVERTONES with a mysterious spy/surf sound and more...

A mighty album, housed in a real cool artwork cover of the venue which took place the festival, that'll surely keep your memories alive until..."White Boppin' Tower II"!!! Last 10 copies on both formats!

THE FRANTIC V - A Long Play With..., LP/CD (OSR-006)

"A Long Play With..." is the fab new release by THE FRANTIC V, the ultra hip garage kings of Greece, which also marks their 10th year anniversary in the garagedom! After numerous singles on various labels (from Australia to United Kingdom) plus a 10" mini album on the Italian Misty Lane Records, this is their first and brand new album!

Expect nothing less than the best and most swinging 60's garage "shakers" to be heard nowadays. Swirling Farfisa organ, snotty vocals and jangles with tambourines is their trademark sound and this time they deliver another healthy dose for all of you garage hipsters!

"Room 409" is the opening track and the party begins with this ultra-cool swinging instrumental with lots of surf references! Next to it, a series of tunes such as "She Lied", "Close Your Eyes", "I'm Asking Why" and "Good Lovin'" is part of the same swinging movie "soundtrack"! Both tracks "Girl Don't Play (With Me)" and "You're Gonna Be Mine" come from the band's early days and luckily we have the opportunity to enjoy them on vinyl! "Quinta" is a sax-orgasmic drenched mid-tempo instrumental, the most suitable titles track of a new porn movie!!! As far as "Hang Up" of the fabulous Wailers is concerned, it is about a killer low tempo 60's punk cover-version that will surely satisfy all the beatniks around! Last but not least, "It's Been So Long" is a folk punk gem that recalls all those forgotten teenagers of The New England scene back in the 60's as well as the ballads of the Swedish garage scene of the 80's/90's!

Their first "Long Play" is by far their best effort and destined to be a timeless classic!!!

PURPLE OVERDOSE - Painting The Air, LP/CD (OSR-005)

Whatever anyone says about this incredible psychedelic project, which popped out in 1986, is no more than a matter of poor words! PURPLE OVERDOSE are among the very few honest representatives of the contemporary "paisley" culture after its initial movement back in the 60's! In their 17-year career they have received nothing but highly acclaimed reviews internationally! The band, devoted to the American and British blend of pure psychedelia, has a dedicated following since their first release as early as in 1988 and from then on they expanded their fame by working on several other albums throughout the years! Their complete discography consisting of masterpieces only, is a fact that proves the band's incontestable value!

"Painting The Air" is a precious collection of unreleased tracks and rare remixes. Gems such as "Painting The Air", "Still ill" and "Sail On Your Wings" among others are simply works of crafted art that will lead everyone to an endless trip in the land of Alice... The record is pressed on high quality vinyl and dressed in a multicoloured mind-blowing cover!

"Painting The Air" is a seminal work that will satisfy all the psych-heads and the connoisseurs of the scene and is evidently one of the most important psychedelic releases to come out in 2004!!!

THE BULLETS - Fuzzbitten, 7" (OSR-003)

THE BULLETS emerged in the Greek rock'n'roll scene back in 1988! From then on, their presence has been marked by a continuous passion and worship to what they're devoted. All we have here are three storming rockabilly/surf cuts that will for sure drift everything around! Influenced by rockabilly, surf, teddy boy, 50's trash and doo wop, they pay tribute to the heroes of their adolescence such as Gene Vincent, Link Wray, The Ventures and Johnny Carroll, creating a unique sound with a very personal touch! So far, they have also participated in countless rock'n'roll gatherings and festivals around Greece, Germany and Italy!

With this 7" EP THE BULLETS request the attention of pure rock'n'roll fans internationally! All three tracks make a fine surf-a-billy mixture which will surely impress everybody! The opening number "Fuzzbitten" as well as "Son Of The Beach" are both speedy furious and high energy surf instrumentals. On the contrary, "Black Out" is a wonderful sample of romantic surf tune with vocals a la Four Seasons and Dion And The Belmonts!

This piece of wax is an essential part of any beach party around, a record that makes hot summer days more shiny and long cold winter ones short-lasting until next summer comes!

It is rumoured that this mysterious surf outfit was formed in Mars! Possibly the cover artwork and the song titles led many to such a conclusion! As the back cover reveals, it is about "an official Frantic V conspiracy!" In fact, THE OVERTONES are 3 of the 5 members of the mighty garage group, The Frantic V, in disguise! Besides their devotion to garage beat, they deliver a couple of cool surfin' tunes. Their first long awaited release is a killer 7" single of spine-tingling instrumentals!

"Surf Spyder" captures the band in a spy-influenced tremendous high-speed instrumental with full reverb and a hint of mystery! A lot of neo-surf bands in the past got inspired by spy themes and put it into the surf genre (remember The Boardwalkers, Man Or Astroman?, Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E., The Phantom Surfers and more). Imagine an a-go-go "007" Bond trying to balance on a surf board in the rough sea!!!

The flip side "Full Moon Over Balboa Beach" is a charming mid-tempo tune full of romance that recalls stunning 60's compilations of the genre such as "Surfer's Mood". It is the right tune for the sunset where the surfers have put aside their boards after a day of continuous battle with the rough waves!

THE OVERTONES debut piece of wax is destined to all those who love the tender side of surf instrumentals. Enjoy!

UNKNOWN PASSAGE - Tales From Prison, LP (OSR-001)

If you're into the no fuss raw-garage /psychedelic side of the American sixties in the spirit of Syd Barrett and Rocky Erickson you'll be overblown by this gem. “Tales From Prison” is their first release consisting of 7 tracks and including a magical rework of Lucifer Sam (Pink Floyd) and White Rabbit (Great Society / Jefferson Airplane) blended into a single track. Expect to be blown away by this prodigiously talented band! Last 20 copies!!!
